The Greatest games related thing in you're collection

[Happy_Dude]

That isn't a Game or console :D

Mine is definitly my Neon N64 sign. It's not really neon just a plastic
box with a Fluro tube (or 2) inside but it's easier to describe that way ;)
Cost: AU$10 X_x
Place: Hanging on the wall over my bed head :D

[Keir]

Tough question, but I really like my homemade C64 shirt!

[digitalpress]

Tough one. I'm gonna go with the Dragon's Lair CEL signed by Bluth, Goldman, Pomeroy and Dyer!

[Happy_Dude]

DP wins a link to Hawai (http://go.hrw.com/atlas/norm_map/hawaii.gif)i :D
Thats really cool :D

[Oobgarm]

Mine's actually 2 things, since they came together:

My Playstation and N64 cabinets. The Warner Brothers store in my area was going out of business and was selling all of their fixtures, and I got them both for $25.

They're both about 6 1/2 ft. tall. The PSX one is all merchandise shelves with 2 large glass sliding doors, the N64 one was a demo kiosk-a spot for a TV, the system storage unit, and shelves for mercahndise at the bottom, also with sliding glass doors. Both have lighted signs on the top.

hmmm, I guess my Akuma resin figure would be my favorite

This (http://www.classicgaming.com/o2home/displaystand.jpg).

I have one of those, except I have the bottom section with the sliding plastic doors for storage. I also have the 7 foot tall Atari 2600 shelving unit with the locking plastic doors to go along with it. I use the thing you have pictured to hold a small TV hooked to a NES and/or Atari 7800, the table top as a workbench and the bottom section to hold my NES and tabletops. The Atari shelf unit holds all of my 2600 and 7800 games and some of my arcade boards on the bottom.

I'll try and scare up pictures of them.

They would probably qualify as my non-game/machine big hitters per your restrictions.

But my stuffed Bomberman figure I found at Goodwill is still cooler...

[WiseSalesman]

Either my FF Tactics OST or this (http://www.angelfire.com/comics/januss/standup.txt).

okay, so I'll grant that my digital camera sucks, BUT....

if you can't tell, this is one of those cardboard standups they put out to advertise for FF9/The Bouncer. If you look at it one way, it's an image of Zidane, from another angle it's an image of Sion and Dominique.....I like to think that's kind of cool.

[congobongo]

My DP guide 8-)

[Achika]

My nintendo furniture or (what I love the most!) Is my Ulala cardboard standee.

http://www.vidgame.net/sc5standee.jpg

Now, if I can find an official Ulala Sega cosplay character to sign it as Ulala, I can die a happy little girl

[DDCecil]

My Homemade Super Mario Bros Blanket, even though it's becoming very faded...

[den68]

I've got a cardboard hanging ad for Zelda II.

you can kind of see it here: (on the wall to the left of Wayne Fonts big fat head)

[Kid Fenris]

The nicest game-related things in my collection are probably my artbooks. I have Xenogears Perfect Works, the Emerald Dragon Official Fan Mook (yes, a Mook), the original Capcom Illustrations collection, and the Lunar I and II art guide. Whether used for artistic reference or information, they're quite cool, even if they're mostly in Japanese.

The biggest thing in my stockpile, however, is a Metroid Prime display. I couldn't bear to see them throw it away at my EB, so it took it and set it up in my old room at my parents' home. There's no way I'm keeping it at my current apartment, so I'll hope that mom and dad don't decide to throw it away.

Strangely enough, I find myself wanting more huge store displays. Anyone know where I can get a Xenosaga stand-up?

[mauigamer]

I guess mine would be some original official Nintendo score card books for keeping track of your high scores on SMB and Excitebike.

[THXII38]

Not a game or a console?

hmmm......

I have some cool t-shirts people have bought me.


'Wasted Youth' over a Space Invaders screen

or

'Know Your Roots' over two NES Controllers

and some obscure ones with very 'in' jokes specfific to certain groups

i.e

'I bitch about you on IRC chat rooms that you cant see'


-----

My personal fave, and it is not strictly gaming is an original boxed, left hand wing mirror for a Sinclair C5. It's an 'Official' Sinclair Vehciles Spare Part!

Sinclair, is this genius, who made the UK's best selling 8-bit micro. Then went a bit nuts, and made a very silly little electric car that no body bought.

[DarkSoul]

It's kinda a game, but I've gotta give mad props to my full size Street Fighter II arcade machine =)

Working coin door, joysticks and buttons in great conditions, sharp (if slightly over-yellow) monitor, side art and marquee in poor/average (but entirely acceptable to me) shape... yeah, she's a beaut =)

Just got her Saturday, had to spend all freakin' day at a coin-op auction, but I ended up getting it for *$130* plus tax!!

[Sniderman]

I've got all kinds of miscellaneous videogame-related crap that I'm fond of. But the coolest thing that causes people to stop in their tracks and say "Cool." is something I got for free at my first CGE. All over the con floor, the guys had pasted up these blown-up Atari labels. (You can even see one or two in DP's Room of Doom.) Well, one of my favorites was up on the wall and, when the con ended, I asked if I could have it and they said "Yup." So, framed on the wall above my Atari Collection is my Haunted House Atari label.

This is a photo of my game area posted here at DP. You can make it out in the upper left corner of the picture.

[Britboy]

Aw man, you guys suck, I don't have diddly besides my actual games and consoles. *is totally jealous*

[game_trek]

One thing off the top of my head, is The pusher. Its a hardwood little shelf unit that holds 15 atari 2600 sized slots and theres a button next to each slot. Push the button and the game comes out enough to grab it. Pretty cool. I have two, brand new. Bought from a liquidator.

[game_trek]

Oh wait, couple more for ya! My game music collection of 44 different cds, not including double cd sets. A Zelda camera(for gameboy), did anyone else buy one? Atari 2600 game folder. Hold up to eight games. Have two of those. A pac-man fever cd signed by buckner a garcia.

[Lady Jaye]

The coolest thing I have is the goodies that Sega sent me with Jet Set Radio Future: a music sampler CD, a set of pin buttons with images of the game's characters and a silver sew-on patch with the game's logo.

[briskbc]

My favorite item is a Pac-Man light switch cover from 1980. I can't find it right now. We moved a while back and it is still packed.

[Mayhem]

GamesMaster golden joystick...

http://www.mayhem64.co.uk/gif/goldenjoy.jpg

GamesMaster (http://www.jackmtempleton.supanet.com/) was a TV show here in the UK during the early 90s with challenges, tips, reviews, cheats and stuff. Hosted for the most part by Dominic Diamond with assistance from astronomer Patrick Moore as the "GamesMaster". I was lucky enough to get onto the show doing a challenge and won, hence the prize... there aren't many of these babies floating about. In fact the owner of the website above has only found two other people besides myself who still have theirs...

God knows what the item would go for on eBay to any fans of the show :D

[sniperCCJVQ]

My Pacman shooter glass and my WWF Superstars full size arcade in a 9,5/10 condition (it's only miss the sidearts).

I have picture of it but there are not scan :(

[drumguy79]

I got this at a Toys R Us that was closing this weekend... its about a foot and a half long and is on that quarter inch corkboard stuff... I'm pretty happy.

[nesman85]

my promo turok raptor claw in it's crate.

[Oobgarm]

I got a picture of the two cabinets I mentioned earlier for everyone's enjoyment.

Also worth noting at the red arrow is MTV Music Generator 2 Sampling Kit. I understand that those aren't exactly easy to come by.

http://www.dustincarter.com/media/shelves.jpg

[IntvGene]

I've got about 250 posters of various games and systems from the three years that I spent in Japan.

Other than that, I guess it is my Atari Stock Certificate! ;)

[geelw]

hmmmm... probably the leather jacket i won from electronic arts and gamefan magazine with an airbrushed polterguy on the back, or the sonic the hedgehog lab coat from disney world's innoventions exhibit... :D

[robot717]

You people are making me miss all the Pac Man stuff I had when I was a kid.Toys,rollerskates ( I learned to tie my shoes on Pac Man skates ) shirts.Wish I'd have kept it all.Not to mention my old Frogger shirt.No way in hell it'd fit me now,but it'd still be nice to have.

[Tempest]

Probably my E.T. hanging mobile (still new in the plastic) or my GORF medal of honor (still sealed as well). I also have a set of original marketing slides for 2600, 7800, and 400/800 games (from 84 I think).

[NvrMore]

GamesMaster golden joystick...

Damn Mayhem, that's awesome, I always used to watch that show.

What was the actual match you won (was it against a celeb?).

[slapdash]

I have a promo battleaxe from some game... That's kind of cool.

Otherwise, I guess my Waterworld T-Shirt.

[Six Switch]

I have a lot of little stuff but my Lunar punching hand puppet takes the cake. :D :-D 8-)

[Magus]

Well mine would have to be my massive collection of videogame magazines, right now i have almost 200! I am very proud of them.

Although over the few years I have been collecting I have a few other, smaller things I prize, like my (Sorry, i know is a game, but I am so proud of it) unopened Panzer dragoon saga!!

[Pressure Cooker]

Well, I guess it would have to be my collection of Sega Visions magazines: starts at issue 1 and goes through like 20. My Shinobi shirt is a great piece of clothing. :D And fnally my Eternal Champions poster. (I wish it was for the Sega CD version and not the Genesis one...I love the Sega CD version to death...it's my favorite fighting game).

[Neonsolid]

Gone.

[max 330 mega]

mine would most likely be my framed metal slug 4 arcade poster , or possibly my pikachu collection that includes a jamaican (authentic straight from jamaica) pikachu with a little rasta hat and dreads and a 3 foot tall pikachu. :D

[fergojisan]

I have a few things. My wife got me a giant Gameboy box with Galaga/Galaxian and Defender/Joust on it from KayBee. I also have an Atari Service sign, Jaguar and Sega display signs from Toys r Us (they were above the displays and had lights behind them), a Pac-Man cookie cutter that my dad had made for me, and a Starfox Competition Apron. And also, my small collection of homemade standup videogame figures, and my homemade videogame coasters.

Ferg

[Famidrive-16]

I got this one small Pokemon stuffed toy that transformed into a pokeball when you zipped it up from a driver in a Pikachu beetle that drove through our town. I think I lost it but it was a few of a kind thing for sure (or probably something just released in Japan)

As for something i haven't lost, a wind-up Mis. Pacman that opens it's mouth and reveals a blue ghost inside.

^ like this, except for the differences i posted.

[Ed Oscuro]

I have a small amount of print stuff I like. Definitely like my ads for Konami FDS games. I'll be picking up more of those + some issues of Joy Joy News someday.

I suppose I must have something like a dozen various official and licensed mooks for the Shining Force imports...I would definitely like to find the equivalents for the Phantasy Star games.

My Zillion Teacap. :>

Finally, a couple slides of The Legend of Zelda 64 for the Ultra 64, c. 1995.
